The alien experiment is alive . . . and it wants out. In a world where UFO sightings have become alarmingly frequent, the US government's top-secret A.L.I.V.E. Project was created to prepare for an impending alien threat. Dr. Maeve Leander, raised in the shadow of this covert operation, now leads the research on Alvie, the project's first alien subject. To Maeve, Alvie isn't just an experiment; he's family. But when a mysterious new agency seizes control of A.L.I.V.E., Maeve's world is turned upside down. She discovers that Alvie is not the only extraterrestrial being studied—and the truth is far more terrifying than she ever imagined. Suddenly thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse, Maeve finds herself fighting for her life against both human adversaries and otherworldly forces. As the violence escalates and her chances of survival dwindle, she uncovers a chilling revelation: the project's true goal is to ensure that no one makes it out alive. Brace yourself for a rollercoaster ride through an alternative world where the answer to humanity's greatest question comes at a devastating cost.
